On The Rocks

The hand battened pickles were delicious! Lightly breaded and perfectly cooked. My husband ordered the grilled chicken salad. He enjoyed the olives, peppers and fresh ingredients. My fish tacos were outstanding. Worth the drive off I 70.We will come again! Fun college atmosphere.

Great fish tacos--lots of blackened tilapia, good slaw and sauce. The grilled chicken salad also had good flavor and fresh ingredients. Would've preferred spring mix over iceberg lettuce but the other veggies made up for it.Dogs are allowed on their sunny patio.Friendly staff and an overall great experience.

This place was good. We started with the onion strings on the appetizer section. They were delicious and lightly battered. There was more than enough for a family of four to share and have leftovers. I had the chipotle cream cheese burger. It was also great. Spicy, but flavorful and not overly spicy. Just enough where you might need sip here and there to cool your mouth off. The home made french fries were the best. I love real fries. My kids had the chicken strips and were satisfied with the freshness and size of them. I tried one and it was perfectly cooked and not the kind you get out of a box. Finished with the fried Oreos. They would have been excellent but a little bit of the batter was still gooey in the middle so it kind of scared me, maybe they were made with eggs? Semonila?? Idk I just had the kids eat the oreo and cooked parts. Not enough to lose a star.The waiter was very nice and answered all of my annoying questions.

This place is very close to FHSU. Depending on your thoughts... that's a perk, or not. We went on Wing Night (Wednesday). It was very busy. No appetizers are available on Wednesday's because all the fryers are making all-you-can eat wings. I had the buffalo sauce, it was good. Garlic Parmesan were amazing. We also tried Korean BBQ which was not that great. The bang-bang sauce was great. We will be back.

Stopped in for a drink. Impressed by the friendliness of staff and how welcome they made us feel. We were told that all good is made fresh, not prepackaged or frozen and the popular chicken fried steak is made with steak, not ground beef. I hope to be back soon to try it. The atmosphere is a typical neighborhood bar, but clean, not too crowded. If you stop in tell Steph I sent you!

The ambience is that of a typical small town college bar. The seating was nice and the patrons friendly. Service was typical of a Hays eating establishment so no real surprise. My water was unexpectedly kept full and I never had to ask. Every restaurant has their "thing" that differentiates and establishes their uniqueness. At On The Rocks it seems to be their cheap paper napkins and plastic utensils. My suggestion is to stop at any fast food joint in town and pick up your own before hand. Ordered the hot wings as an appetizer. They came roasted, not fried or battered with an excellent taste. We enjoyed them and I imagine that serving them as a complete "3 piece wing" justifies the $13 price for a 6 wings. Tried to think of a nice way to phrase this, but the burgers are horrid. My wife & I ordered the blackened blue cheese burger and the green chili burger medium rare. They were both burnt beyond recognition. This wasn't an issue of medium v medium rare. BOTH were Charcoal-Charlie burnt to a crisp. Frankly I was shocked that any half decent restaurant owner would let it out of the kitchen. When I mentioned this to our waitress, she simply looked at us with this typical gaunt stare of a genuine Hays native and walked away. No comment, no questions, and no offer to replace them. My "buffalo chips" were tasty, fried and seasoned to perfection. At $2.99 I'm not sure the 12 chips I received were worth the price. The beer was typically "restaurant cool" but not cold. Overall this wasn't a good experience. Fortunately On The Rocks has a liquor license and an ample amount on college students to cover their kitchen. Wings, 2 beers, and 2 uneatable burgers racked up an astonishing $45 tab.

The best food in town. When I say best, I seriously mean it. I loved the wings and the different fry platters. Great for groups and late nights.

drinks are good... one of the bartenders doesn't know how to make 3 drinks at once. I ordered a vodka lemonade, amertto sour, amertto pineapple and a Michelobe. she gets mad at me when she doesn't make the right drink and kicks me out when I point it out (nicely)... she's grumpy almost every time I order. I've been going to OTR for almost 4 years, she's always been grumpy, not only with me, but also almost everyone of my friends. Too bad because I come here almost every weekend.

They have reduced the menu to very simple bar food (boneless wings, poppers, fries, etc.) and a very limited beer selection. The chicken and fires were very good. Very typical college bar.

Thanks on the rocks! We had a ball and got to play games and go on walks and keep drinking and then there was a thunder and lightning storm. We had patron and I got a Hawaiian pizza and
